AYFL Ultimate Flag Football is designed to greatly reduce those types of injuries

Promotes agility and mobility, which increases player's proficiency in maintaining balance before, during and after contact while promoting physicality in all phases of the game.

Most advanced flag format available. Ideal spring training for tackle players, and ideal football format to help bring more players into the league.

With a "keep/ bring your own team" format, we can invite those players and teams from fall tackle, and flag teams to stay together and allow the coaches to bring new players to AYFL.
